Mental Health

I'm taking a mental health day today (shhhh my boss doesn't know that.) Simply put, I overdid it this weekend. Not in a drinking too much sort of day, but demanding too much from myself in terms of what I could handle socially and personally.

It was a crisis free weekend. This was good. But I went out Friday night, Saturday during the day and Saturday night. Which left Sunday to cram everything in that I wanted to get done. Which of course didn't happen, but I did get quite a bit done.

It used to be that doing all of that in one weekend wasn't a big deal. That I could go out every night and not care...weekend, weeknight, whatever. It's not like that anymore. I need time to myself, decompressing time, quiet time with my cats. I didn't realize I couldn't do it anymore-it's been a while since I tried. I suppose I do need more time for me than I used to, or than I realized. I'm glad I did find this out...it helps me budget better what I need or want to do.

But right now I'm just miserable.
